#God/Adonai

[christianhomemaker]

How good it is to sing praises to our God!

How sweet, how fitting to praise him!

Adonai is rebuilding Yerushalayim,

gathering the dispersed of Isra’el.

He heals the brokenhearted

and binds up their wounds.

He determines how many stars there

are and calls them all by name.

Psalm 147:1-4

Psalm 90:2

Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

[ohholydyke]

When the prophet Elijah faced a government that wanted him dead, he wanted to die, so God sent an angel—a messenger of the Lord—who put their hands on him, brought him food and said “Arise, eat.”

And when Elijah laid back down because he lacked the strength to continue, the angel came again. They put their hands on him, brought him food and said “Arise, eat, because the journey is too great for you.”

And Elijah got up and ate. Until he was ready to engage in his long journey to the mountain of God.

When he got there, the government still wanted the prophet dead, so Elijah still wanted to die. So God told him to stand on the mountain while He came by, so that Elijah could be near God and see Him.

Elijah looked for God in the roaring wind, but God was not there. He looked for God in the earthquake, but God was not there. He looked for God in fire, but God was not there.

And then Elijah heard a gentle breeze, and God was there. In comfort. In stillness. In gentleness.

And when Elijah left, still despairing over facing a government that wanted him dead, God sent him to Damascus with the promise that Elijah would anoint new kings and a new prophet. He found Elisha, his companion and fellow prophet, who stood with Elijah as they weathered the storm of government, grief and fear together. And then they built a new world.

Elijah outlived those who wanted him dead. But he did not do it alone. Comfort, touch, food—these are the essentials. These get us out of bed. These keep us alive. The message from God when Elijah is lying down in despair isn’t “get to work,” it isn’t “focus on resisting,” it isn’t “mourn,” it isn’t chastisement. It’s “arise, eat.”

Communion, gentleness, stillness, focus—these are what motivate us to do the work. Elijah was driven by despair into God’s arms. Maybe that works for you—I will be spending my day in prayer alongside my local parish and participating in a communal Mincha service. Maybe the communion and gentleness for you is other people. Your friends, family, loved ones. Maybe it’s yourself—sitting in meditation, art, music, screaming, cooking, sobbing, stretching, gardening. Do something to be in communion with someone or something today. If you have no one, commune with yourself. Commune with plants and your pets and the wind and the water and the candlelight and anywhere you feel that gentle breeze. Stillness, focus, connection.

Finally, companionship, organizing, community, action, solidarity—these are what allow us to do the work. The journey is too great for us alone. We need each other. We will weather this storm together. We will weather the grief and mourning and despair and anger and outrage and whatever the next few years have in store for us, and we will do it standing alongside each other.

Remember—if things get overwhelming, return to the basics. Lay down. Eat. Rest. Repeat until you can find communion and stillness. And repeat both until you can find the strength to journey on and create meaningful relationships and resistance with others.

As final thoughts, I will share the prayer I have prayed regularly since I began my own journey alongside God as a blessing to anyone who may benefit from hearing it:

May God give you eyes that you may see, ears that you may hear, and lips that speak the truth in righteousness. May you receive a caring heart and open mind. May the Lord bless the work of your hands and that which you give others.

And, to those for whom Christ may be a comfort:

May the Risen Savior grant you peace. May He help you to become more like Him and find solace in Him and His Passion. May the five wounds of Christ serve as a map guiding you to His gentle breeze.

May the Holy Virgin light your way and intercede for us all, comfort the afflicted, hear our sorrows, and show us the Blessed Fruit of her womb Jesus.

Em nome do Pai, do Filho, e do Espírito Santo,

Amém.

EDIT: This post is blowing up a bit so I feel the need to expressly state (as if my blog isn’t statement enough) that this is a queer leftist message. I stand with Palestine, Sudan, the Congo and all peoples struggling to be free. I stand with Black, Brown and Indigenous peoples suffering under colonialism, racism and imperialism, I stand with queer people, I stand with the houseless, I stand with anarchists and witches and freedom fighters. The idea of self care expressed here is explicitly indebted to Audre Lorde—the act of placing boundaries with yourself in order to have the energy to do the work of fighting for liberation, freedom and equality. Her concept applied to the labor regularly performed by Black women in being forced to advocate for their own humanity, which ought to be acknowledged, but in its principles we may also find a path to guide the rest of us towards a foundation of sustainable movement. My faith is based around the acknowledgment that Jesus Christ did not come to establish a kingdom of man, or a hierarchy of oppression, but a kingdom of God built for the oppressed.

This Yeshua is the stone rejected by you builders which has become the cornerstone.

There is salvation in no one else! For there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by whom we must be saved!”

Acts 4:11-12 (CJB)

This information comes from old spoken Jewish tradition about the importance of wearing Tallits (or prayer shawls/Jewish prayer blankets) and tassels (Tzitzit)

“The phrase more kosher than tzitzit" is a Yiddish metaphoric expression (כשר'ער ווי ציצית).”

What does this mean and why do people say it? A true kosher tallit from Israel is said to hold many essential powers and some of the benefits are only for those with Jewish blood. All people that follow Judaism, were born Jewish, converted to Judaism at one point in their life, have any amount of Jewish blood in their body, and those married to Jewish people are supposed to own a tallit and wear tassels.

Why?

1. General protection: The Tallit can serve as an emergency blanket. It can be used to give someone warmth.

2. It also is said it has properties that can protect you from electromagnetic fields. This is a type of radiation anyone can be exposed to depending upon what is happening to the Earth in our solar system. If the sun for any reason has even a momentary increase in activity on the sun’s surface, it can expose us to excess radiation.

3. This can also reduce static electricity shocking you.

4. The parts of the blanket that are shiny like metal (which can be seen by looking at the back of the blanket when holding it up to a source of light) are important sections of the blanket as well. If you obtain a real tallit, It is said this material is conductive enough to be used as conductive fabric. This means in an emergency you can cut off these parts of the blanket and use them in the same way as you would electrical wires for electronics. This material is able to be stretched and conduct electricity from one end to the other end. This is why it is said they can be blankets made so thin, but they can keep you very warm.

5. They have antibacterial and anti allergen properties to make you feel better when you wear it.

6. Tassels are said to hold special power for Jewish people. All people that are Jewish or even friends to Jewish people were told to wear tassels on their clothes and/or wear a tallit/prayer blanket at all times. This can even mean cutting off the tassels on a tallit/prayer blanket and attaching them to you and your family’s belongings. Kids that didn’t wear clothing with them on could even have them attached to their backpacks. If you pray, are Jewish by blood, and live outside of Israel it is said this is even more important to practice. Direct help and intervention from Jewish spiritual power cannot enter your city or state without many people wearing or decorating the environment with real Jewish tassels. This is because if a Jewish spiritual entity gets hurt attempting to help you, their soul can temporarily enter a tassel for their protection. Different tassels are for different ranks of Jewish spiritual help. Good spirits are the only ones said to be able to use it. The entire blanket is able to be used for them and each section corresponds to a different type of spirit being able to stay with you. This can also be used so a good Jewish spirit can watch over you. Without a tassel nearby and a Jewish spirit is hurt, much more detailed and costly rituals using specialized knowledge must be performed to help them get back to a form where they can help us and be safe. Burning of tassels and eventually the entire blanket is associated with specific rituals to let these stored good spirits out of the blanket and back in our world in a more helpful form. Without tassels it is said outside of Israel you may not be able to get direct intervention to help with any problems by MANY Jewish entities. Even the moths will eat nonkosher clothes for your protection when you live and practice faith in Israel. There are many changes seen in spiritual life and directly in nature you will not see the benefits of without following many Jewish practices. Cities that do not follow Jewish law, but have Jewish people are associated with chaos coming from violation of Jewish law. This is because Jewish protection arises from not only prayer, but requires action from us everyday to stay safe. Living outside of Israel means you cannot benefit from other people practicing the faith around you to create a safe space- you and your community must be an active participant in your own safety at all times.

Stay safe.
